Armenian Orthodox or Gregorian

The Gregorian Church was organized in the third century and became
autocephalous as a national church in the fourth century. In the sixth
century it modified the formulations of the Council of Chalcedon of 451
that confirmed the dual nature of Christ in one person. Instead the
Gregorian Church adopted a form of Monophysitism that believes in the
single divine nature of Christ, a belief which is slightly different
from the belief of the Copts and the Syrian Orthodox Church. The
Armenian Orthodox Church has five patriarchs, of whom the Catholicos of
Etchmiadzin in Soviet Armenia is the most revered. It also has an
Armenian liturgy.

The Armenians in Lebanon were refugees who had fled Turkey during and
after World War I. In 1987 they resided in Beirut and its northern
suburbs as well as in Anjar. They are admired for their skills as
craftsmen and diligence, which have enabled them to gain prominent
economic positions. Politically, Armenians advocate compromise and
moderation.
